Chapter 5 Departure
A few days later, the sky was a cool gray, with a dark red cloud smudged on the edge.

"Woooo-"

The shrill whistle echoed across the sky, breaking the silence of dawn.

On the vast land, trains of black leather trains gathered from all directions, shuttled back and forth, making dull rumbling sounds, and drove towards the distance along the railroad tracks.

Black smoke billowed, and the train disappeared at the end of the land, sending batch after batch of people to various regions outside.

Withered and yellow vines and weeds are all over the place, the wind howls past, rolling up pieces of fallen leaves, flying in the air, falling slowly...

……

The sky gradually brightened, and the light of the morning sun sprinkled from the sky, dispelling the gray tones between the sky and the earth.

Outside the slums, on low hills.

Lin Fan stood there with a bulging black backpack on his back, looking towards the direction of No. [-] Village.

"I'm leaving here today, I don't know when I'll be back..."

Lin Fan sighed softly, a touch of reluctance and confusion appeared on his green face.

He was born in a slum and grew up in this poor place. The farthest place he has been to before is Fengyang County, and because of network restrictions, his understanding of the outside world is limited to the area of ​​the ancient city of Jinling , as farther afield, basically nothing is known.

But now, he was going to go to the distant Yunling City alone, and he was somewhat at a loss.

"This trip to Yunling City, I must earn a lot of money. When I come back, I will take my parents to live in the ancient city of Jinling..."

Looking at the rising sun in the sky, Lin Fan's eyes showed a trace of determination, and he walked along the road under his feet.

He was carrying a heavy backpack, and his thin figure gradually moved away and became smaller and smaller.

The road ahead stretched towards the end of the land, straight and far away, Lin Fan knew that at the end of this road was a vast and magnificent world.

Becoming a knight is also the path he will take in the future...

……

Yunling City is a famous big city in Jiangling Province. It is also a place where knights and mortals live together.

1000 years ago, the long dark night passed, and human beings had already lost the civilization inheritance of the old age, so they searched for the lost ancient books and documents in the ruins, regained the lost civilization, and built cities to live in in the new era .

For thousands of years, Yunling City has a long history. Although it is not comparable to those ancient cities floating in the sky, it has an important position.

Moreover, Qingyun School is a well-known practice school in Jiangling Province.

Also built in this city.

However, this city is located in the north of Jiangling Province, and the road is far away. To get there, you need to pass through the vast plain of ten thousand beasts, as well as several mountains and great swamps. , and the presence of fierce beasts, full of dangers, ordinary mortals simply cannot rely on themselves to go there.

Fortunately, the government of the dynasty built a railway, so that people who were far apart had a way to communicate.

Outside the slums, adjacent to the suburbs of Fengyang County, there is an old station in disrepair.

Lin Fan walked for more than ten miles, and not long after, the dilapidated train station appeared in front of him.

The area of ​​this station is small, and it looks very dilapidated and crude. The outside of the station is surrounded by fences woven by barbed wire. Most of the buildings inside are already full of cracks and filled with various graffiti.

Crowds coming and going at the station, noisy and noisy, steady middle-aged uncles, beautiful young girls, all kinds of people are in a hurry, everyone is dragging their own luggage, many people gather on the platform, wave goodbye, and then bow down The head stood silently, and the air was filled with sad emotions.

There was a choking sound in the wind, and a girl covered her mouth and wept sadly after saying goodbye to her family.

Not far away, a pair of lovers who are about to part are embracing each other tightly, looking at each other silently.

From the looks of it, this couple should have a deep relationship, but they have to be separated from each other at this time, alas... I don't know when they will be able to meet again, long-distance love is too painful...

Lin Fan watched this scene quietly, felt sorry for them, and felt much better...

Among the noisy crowd, Lin Fan looked inconspicuous.

He walked to the waiting room and looked at the huge clock on the wall, the time displayed on it——

6: 30.

The train to Yunling City departed on time at seven o'clock.

It was still early, Lin Fan found a seat in the waiting hall and sat down, waiting for the train to arrive.

Not long after, there was a sudden commotion and exclamations from the crowd in front, and a figure suddenly collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, and made a painful sound from his mouth.

It was a middle-aged man in his 40s, wearing a blue dress, dark complexion, thin figure, and a tall top hat.When he fell just now, the hat fell to the ground, revealing a pale sunken face.

It seemed that he had been tortured by illness for a long time, and his expression was haggard and tired.

This change soon attracted the staff of the station.

"Sir, what's the matter with you? Can you talk?" A staff member squatted beside the man and asked urgently.

"This gentleman may have a sudden illness, go and inform the doctor!"

Soon, amidst the panic at the side, several doctors from the station hurried over. They checked the man's condition carefully, all showing serious expressions.

"What kind of disease is this? Why have I never seen it?"

The person who spoke was an old man with white hair, and his eyes were full of surprise. It was the first time he encountered this kind of disease in his decades of practice.

Another doctor said: "Now is not the time to discuss the disease. His current condition is very dangerous. We must find a way to cure him as soon as possible..."

"But even the cause can't be found, how can I treat it..."

However, in the face of the middle-aged man's condition, the doctors at the station were helpless. They did not dare to treat him randomly. If something happened, they could not bear the responsibility.

In the distance, Lin Fan looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground and twitching in pain. He felt that the vitality in his body was gradually disappearing, and he couldn't bear it.

"I don't know if my lay on hands will be effective..."

His star seal skill can heal injuries, but he is not sure whether he can cure diseases, but that middle-aged uncle is now in this state, and he has already twitched and rolled his eyes.

Hmm... In this case, according to my mother's philosophy of life, I should be a dead horse as a living horse doctor...

After all, it is human life.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan got up and walked over, and said to a group of doctors, "Let me try."

Hearing this, everyone in the waiting hall cast suspicious glances. After all, Lin Fan was only a 16-year-old boy with a young and delicate appearance. convince.

"That... I'm actually a knight..."

Facing everyone's doubts, Lin Fan spread his hands, stepped forward, and carefully checked the middle-aged man's condition.

At this time, he had passed out, lying on the ground straight, his body still twitching like a conditioned reflex.

On the man's neck, there is a black mark, shaped like a blooming lotus.

Lin Fan inadvertently saw that mark, and his eyes were slightly blank. Since he awakened the destiny constellation of Aries, he seemed to have activated some strange ability, and his perception became extremely sharp. In the dark, he seemed to be able to foresee to some unknown existence.

At this moment, in Lin Fan's eyes...

The black lotus imprint seems to exude some ominous atmosphere, giving people a feeling of uneasiness...

"This uncle, doesn't seem to be sick..."

Lin Fan frowned, and then circulated the ray of holy energy surrounding his body, meditating in his heart: star seal, lay healing.

A ray of starlight was shining brightly, entering the man's body.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man's body quickly calmed down, his painfully distorted face also eased, his breathing gradually stabilized, and the vitality in his body began to recover.

"Lay on hands are really effective..."

The middle-aged man looked serene, as if immersed in a dream.

What's weird is that Lin Fan found that the color of the lotus imprint seemed to have faded a bit...

At the same time, in his puzzled eyes, a crisp voice suddenly sounded from the Aries star chart.

"Ding--!"

Merit point +1000.

……

Hearing the notification sound, Lin Fan was a little dazed for a moment, but he took a deep breath after reacting, "Be good, 1000 points of merit, who the hell is this middle-aged uncle?"

Also, what kind of disease did he suffer from to give me so much merit...

At this time, when the people in the waiting room saw that the middle-aged uncle had really been treated, there was a burst of surprise, and they looked at Lin Fan with a hint of awe.

Unexpectedly, this boy is really a knight, and he is also a rare medical department...

Knights, in the eyes of mortals, have always been superior.

Under the arrangement of the staff, the middle-aged man was carried to the infirmary for recuperation and observation, and the group of doctors also stepped forward and said some words of thanks. At this time, this 16-year-old boy was undoubtedly in the waiting hall. became the center of attention.

After Lin Fan said a few perfunctory words, he didn't feel very happy, and quietly returned to his seat.

……

The black lotus imprint made him very concerned.

Weird, ominous, lingering in my mind like a nightmare, lingering.

That feeling is like standing on the edge of an abyss, staring at the endless darkness, as if everything is going to be swallowed by the abyss...

……

"Really, since I awakened the constellation, why have I become suspicious..."

Lin Fan shook his head lightly, thinking that he might not have awakened to the constellation for a long time, and he hadn't adapted to the ability that Shengyuan brought him.

"Actually, it's not bad to be a nanny. I can make money with this lay on hand skill in the future..."

"Hey, I also earned 1000 merit points by accident, and I can finally draw a prize. It's not a waste of work."

Perhaps, this is the so-called reward for a good man...

It's 6:50.

At this time, a pleasant customer service voice sounded in the waiting hall: "The train to Yunling City is about to leave, passengers please get ready and go to the ticket gate to check in..." The voice reminded three times in a row, and Lin Fan didn't care about taking a rest , hurried to the ticket gate and took out his ticket.

After checking the tickets, he came to the platform, and not long after, a black steel train slowly approached.

Lin Fan walked into the car door, carrying a heavy backpack, followed the information on the ticket through the carriages and found his seat.

The carriage he was in was very deserted, with only a dozen passengers. Lin Fan sat in his seat, after thinking for a while, he took out an old mobile phone he had scavenged from the garbage mountain, and sent a text message——

"Goodbye mom, I'm going on a long voyage today..."

Ding!
It didn't take long for my mother's message to come back: take a train, are you still kidding me!

I feel that my mother's temper is still so big, has the additional effect of lay on hands not disappeared?He didn't know how long this state would last, Lin Fan had a strange look in his eyes, and he couldn't help mourning for his father for a moment.

Then, another text message came: Be careful on the road...

After a little skinning, he felt much more at ease, and stopped thinking about the black mark.

"Woo-woo-!"

Accompanied by the whistle, the train slowly pulled out of the station and sped towards Yunling City.

According to the speed and itinerary of the train, it will take more than ten hours to reach Yunling City. It is also the first time for Lin Fan to travel far, and he is full of curiosity about the outside world. During this journey, his eyes have been looking at the distant city through the window. scenery.

After a while, he suddenly remembered that he still had a chance to draw a lottery that he hadn't used, so he quickly opened the star map interface and locked his eyes on the destiny roulette.

"I don't know what prizes will be in it, as long as it's not a thank you for your patronage..."

Filled with excitement, Lin Fan used his only 1000 points of merit to tap the center of the wheel of fortune with his trembling little hand.

"Ding!"

"It has been detected that the merit points are sufficient, do you want to start the lottery?"

"Yes!"

The next moment, 1000 points of merit turned into a ray of light and merged into the destiny roulette, and the entire roulette was shining with golden light and spinning rapidly.

"stop!"

The wheel of fortune stops.

"Congratulations to the host, a black iron coin has been drawn, and the reward has been placed in the star map, welcome to come again next time."

Fortunately, thank you for your patronage...

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief, and moved his gaze to the bright star map. Among the stars, there was a simple black coin floating there quietly. The surface was dim and old, as if it was an antique from a long time ago.

[Holy Artifact: Black Iron Coin (upgradeable)]

Grade: None.

Attributes: 1. Wearing this coin, when you or your teammates kill the enemy, you will get a certain amount of Saint Yuan. 2. When you absorb refining soul orbs or other items containing holy yuan, an additional 10% income will be added.

Lin Fan: "..."

He looked at the properties of the black iron coin, and a hot red heart suddenly cooled down again. What the hell is this?

Suddenly, he remembered that on the Jinling Ancient City area network, the competitive game called "Alliance of the Gods", which has occupied the top three rankings all year round, has equipment similar to this function.

Lin Fan had also downloaded and played before, but his level was too good, so he uninstalled it after playing for a while.

And the black iron coin...

Isn't this the equipment that is rumored to be a must-buy for assistants to go out--salary equipment...

At this moment, Lin Fan felt the malice of the whole world very deeply, and after a total of 1000 points of merit, he finally pulled out a salary outfit.

This is the so-called, in the dark, there is a definite number...

So, in this life, I am destined to only be an assistant.

"Very good. The assistant who goes out to buy salary equipment must be a good assistant. If you meet him, you must cherish him..."

Sighing deeply, Lin Fan felt exhausted in his heart, and collapsed powerlessly on the seat, his eyes glazed over.

This time I drew a salary outfit, what about the next lottery draw?
It won't show me the whole truth...

Time goes by little by little...

The train roared and sped across the vast land, passed through mountains, passed through wastelands and swamps, and entered the vast plain of beasts.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little silent. A dozen passengers were resting with their eyes closed, and almost no one spoke.

While Lin Fan was lamenting his fate, a good-looking flight attendant walked into the carriage and showed a professional smile to Lin Fan: "Hello, are you Mr. Lin Fan?"

Lin Fan nodded and looked at her suspiciously.

"It's like this. We just received the news from the station platform that the gentleman who was rescued by you has woken up safely..." The flight attendant smiled warmly and spoke softly, "The gentleman is very grateful to you, I hope you will stay The contact information below, saying that I want to express my thanks to you in the future.”

That middle-aged uncle?

It seems that he is safe and sound, the star seal skills of Aries are indeed a bit magical...

Lin Fan shook his head. Rescuing the middle-aged man was just a matter of effort, and he didn't expect to get anything in return, so he politely declined.

Besides, Lin Fan was already very satisfied with getting 1000 points of merit by accident.

Another point, Aries' intuition tells him that he should stay away from the black lotus imprint.

And, the farther the better...

"Okay, sorry to bother you, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Then, the stewardess turned around and left.

Lin Fan looked at the time. It was still a long time before he arrived in Yunling City, so he lay down on his seat, closed his eyes and rested, while the sound of the train moving echoed in his ears.

Before I knew it, I fell into a drowsy sleep...

I don't know how long it took, but in a daze, he heard the ear-piercing sound of train brakes sharply rubbing against his eardrums, and Lin Fan opened his eyes from his lethargy.

At this time, he found that the train entered the edge of a bustling city built among the mountains, and stopped at the terminal.

……

At the same time, the voice of the flight attendant sounded in the carriage:
"Hello passengers, this train has arrived at its destination - Yunling City."

"Please take your salutes and get out of the car in an orderly manner. During this period, there should be no collisions or quarrels..."
